Remove VBS/Autorun-QO LOVERAHULSAS.vbs


Name: VBS / Autorun-QO (or) LOVERAHULSAS.vbs
Style: virus / spyware
Type: Worm
Propagation method:
(1) move the storage media
(2) Network sharing

Affected operating systems: Windows


VBS/Autorun-QO displays the text "THIS IS AN ANTI-VIRUS AND WILL HELP YOUR SYSTEM TO WORK PROPERLY" and "RAHUL THE H@CkEr".

VBS/Autorun-QO copies itself to accessible drives and the Windows system folder as LOVERAHULSAS.vbs.

VBS/Autorun-QO spreads together with a file autorun.inf. The autorun.inf file is also detected as VBS/Autorun-QO.

The following registry will be created/affected.

HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main
Window Title
"RAHUL THE H @ CkeR"

HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer
NoFolderOptions
0

HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ System
DisableTaskmgr  0

HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ System
DisableRegistryTools  0

HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon
Shell  explorer.exe

HKLM \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Winlogon
Userinit
\ Userinit.exe
\ wscript.exe
\ LOVERAHULSAS.VBS

Internet Explorer start page is adverse to get change and its corresponding registry is  modified as selected by the malicious code author. 

HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main Start Page

My tip/advise:

First of all you have to remove all the autorun.inf files from all the drives of your system.Also after doing so,open the registry and change the values that were affected by the virus to its default values.Some of the default values can be checked here.Then restart your system.

Success/Failure put your valuable comments here....

Enable Disabled Registry values by Editing Registry values

Launch Regedit and go to the following Registry Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/CurrentVersion/Policies

Under this key, there will definitely be a key named explorer. Now under this explorer key we can create new DWORD values and modify it's value to 1 in order to impose the restriction. If you want to remove the Restriction, then you can simply delete the respective DWORD values or instead change their values to 0. The following is a list of DWORD values that can be created under the Explorer Key:

NoDeletePrinter: Disables Deletion of already installed Printers

NoAddPrinter: Disables Addition of new Printers

NoRun : Disables or hides the Run Command

NoSetFolders: Removes Folders from the Settings option on Start Menu (Control Panel, Printers, Taskbar)

NoSetTaskbar: Removes Taskbar system folder from the Settings option on Start
Menu

NoFind: Removes the Find Tool (Start >Find)

NoDrives: Hides and does not display any Drives in My Computer

NoNetHood: Hides or removes the Network Neighborhood icon from the desktop

NoDesktop: Hides all items including, file, folders and system folders from the Desktop

NoClose: Disables Shutdown and prevents the user from normally shutting down Windows.

NoSaveSettings: Means to say, 'Don't save settings on exit'

DisableRegistryTools: Disable Registry Editing Tools (If you disable this option, the Windows Registry Editor(regedit.exe) too will not work.)

NoRecentDocsHistory: Removes Recent Document system folder from the Start Menu (IE 4 and above)

ClearRecentDocsOnExit: Clears the Recent Documents system folder on Exit.

Nolnternetlcon: Removes the Internet (system folder) icon from the Desktop

Now create a new key and name it System. Under this new key, system we can create the following new DWORD values

NODispCPL: Hides Control Panel

NoDispBackgroundPage: Hides Background page.

NoDispScrsavPage: Hides Screen Saver Page

NoDispAppearancePage: Hides Appearance Page

NoDispSettingsPage: Hides Settings Page

NoSecCPL: Disables Password Control Panel

NoPwdPage: Hides Password Change Page

NoAdminPaqe: Hides Remote Administration Page

NoProfilePage: Hides User Profiles Page

NoDevMgrPage: Hides Device Manager Page

NoConfigPage: Hides Hardware Profiles Page

NoFileSysPage: Hides File System Button

NoVirtMemPage: Hides Virtual Memory Button

Similarly, if we create a new subkey named Network, we can add the following DWORD values under it:

NoNetSetupSecurityPage: Hides Network Security Page

NoNelSetup: Hides or disables the Network option in the Control Panel

NoNetSetupIDPage: Hides the Identification Page

NoNetSetupSecurityPage: Hides the Access Control Page
